firsthanding the ball off to harry reid. when harry reid couldn't get anywhere. he handed it off to joe biden. i think this is not a congress that distinguished itself. in particular, the united states senate which hasn't passed a budge net how many years now? so i think the house at least has done its job. it has passed an alternative for example for the sequester cuts. it did come up with a plan to avert the tax increases across the brd? the senate has really done nothing. and it is amazing to me that people would ask for their jobs back. when they haven't been able to do their jobs in any meaningful sense in the last few years. >> jennifer, listen. i'm in a charitable mood. i've been defending congress. these people were elect ped sop clearly somebody believes they need to elect these rigid dog mattic individuals that won't budge. >> i don't mind so much that they are dogmatic. i would like for them to put forth the foe seerable course. what does harry reid believe? what does chuck schumer believe? let them put something on the table, go through a congress and

i think senator manchin's step along with senator warner's, senator reid's statements on this subject mark a real shift, almost a techtonic change in the political landscape here, and it is an extraordinary moment where watching these senators who are revisiting their past positions is really an inspiring act of leadership, i think. >> can't the white house do more even on its own, and here we have a situation where it would not have helped in this case, granted, these guns were legally purchased by nancy lanza, alan lanza's mother, but the bottom line is that 40% of guns are sold without a background check in this country. >> that's right. because of loopholes. very good point. about 60% are involving background checks, but 40% do not. yes, i do think that the white house will act with determination. the president spoke very strongly and eloquently on this topic in the vigil on sunday in newtown when he visited with the families and the specifics, obviously, have not been forthcoming, but the country wants it. everywhere i go, newtown among the law enforcement community, my former co

senate majority leader harry reid and senator minority leader mitch mcconnell and nancy pelosi not surprising here. what's the expectation? >> well, you know, we'll see. publicly, suzanne, there has been a much more consillatory tone that we've seen since the election, whether it's from the president or the house speaker john boehner, but i can tell you in talking to sources privately on both sides of the aisle, they admit that it's all about positioning and posturing to make sure at the end of the day if we do go off the fiscal cliff that they're not blamed for it. they're the ones who looked reasonable, not unreasonable, and they're preparing for the other side to blame them for the opposite, if that makes sense. that's a lot of what you are saying in public. the reality is that neither side has a really clear machine date or clear vote and no one wants to look at the end of the day like they never gave compromise a chance. listen to republican bob corker, though, because there does seem to be a little bit of a crack on the republican side on whether or not it's okay to raise some taxes. >>
